One of our main problems is that, part of our 80% of our business Make/Configure to order, but the other 20% is Engineer to Order where we need to modify orders after they have been started. It has to - those are all basic requirements of a manufacturing system. Any ERP system that will support your manufacturing process effectively will also support your accounting, procurement, sales, and inventory processes as well. You've long outgrown small-business accounting software. Stop trying to pigeonhole your system into Quickbooks. And then meet with multiple ERP consultants representing multiple systems, and have them present to you how their system will meet those requirements.Īnd for chrissakes. How you want to measure performance in your company. What your reporting, accounting, dashboarding, and data-entry requirements are. My advice to you is that you put together an honest-to-goodness set of requirements on what you want to achieve with your system.

Or, I would tell you we don't have the software that would help you and send you on your way.Īll this is to say - you're barking up the wrong tree. I would spend my time trying to learn your business and what you want to accomplish, determine if my firm and my software would be able to help you, and provide a demo (or multiple demos) showing you how the software I represent may help you. All software has issues - especially software that is as complex as ERP software. I also wouldn't bother pointing you to some support "forum" somewhere to prove that my software doesn't crash or hang. So the recommendation you're likely to get from a place like this will be from people who know their software and are vaguely familiar with other software.Įven if I wanted to earn your business, I would not bother downloading Fishbowl and trying to compare my system to that system. It is virtually impossible for any one person to know everything there is to know about a single ERP system, let alone multiple systems. Many people spend their entire careers supporting one system, and even then, they probably only support specific parts of the system. The reason why you are likely only going to see people like me here is that ERP software is massive. The ERP system we support, however, does handle manufacturing. I won't say which one, because I don't need your business, and my firm generally does not support manufacturing companies. I'll put my hand up and say that I am certainly a consultant that supports a specific ERP system. It is possible that most people in this forum are either sales reps or are otherwise consultants who specialize in one (or maybe two, though it is doubtful very many do) ERP systems. Is this whole sub basically Sales Reps for every ERP system on the planet? Not posting with Flair WILL get you banned. Pick a product you want to represent and flair up. Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a cross-functional enterprise system driven by an integrated suite of software modules that supports the basic internal business processes of a company.ĮRP gives a company an integrated real-time view of its core business processes such as production, order processing, and inventory management, tied together by ERP applications software and a common database maintained by a database management system.ĮRP systems track business resources (such as cash, raw materials, and production capacity) and the status of commitments made by the business (such as customer orders, purchase orders, and employee payroll), no matter which department (manufacturing, purchasing, sales, accounting, and so on) has entered the data into the system.ĮRP facilitates information flow between all business functions inside the organization, and manages connections to outside stakeholders.
